 Sorry if this is not the place to post.

 All (or most AFAIK) WordPress classes WP_* are declared final.

 This is an issue when unit testing since final classes can't be mocked so
 unit testing a class that relies on a WP_Post instance is hard.

 If I may ask, is there a reason why these classes are final? Have there
 been any talks to make them non-final, at least in the official testing
 environment that uses phpunit?
